Because new associations are made and stregnthened every time that part of
memory is referenced it makes it more likely for that out part of memory to
be referenced within a time frame. To reprogram yourself all you have to do
is remember your associations-physical memories, ideas, thoughts, reflexes,
etc..., and then bring up other memories-physical, ideas, thoughts,
reflexes, etc...associate those with the other memories in a way that would
give a desired output.
Of course this takes a lot of planning. You decide what you want to be
like, compare 'you' now with the future 'you' and viola, new associations.
You do this over and over again with many different patterns of association
and what will happen is that there will be more stronger links to each part
of the memories that you excersice.
My unfinished post last Sunday on "Creating a Thought" explains this.
